The sound of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Run Away With Me" was a pleasantly familiar one for fans during an Ellen Show performance today (February 26). The singer's look, however, likely threw a whole bunch of rabid followers for a loop.

Jepsen used a performance of the fan-favorite E•MO•TION single to debut a shorter, piecy cut that might have left Joan Jett crying out in envy. It looked a little bit rocker and a little bit pixie, but either way, it didn't eclipse the fact that she can put on a show.

In the video above, and backed by fluorescent hearts, scribbly affirmations and high-school football lighting, Jepsen turns the song — first released in July 2015 — into a road trip-worthy anthem. And the audience, which grooves through the set, seems ready to throw caution to the wind and ride away.
